Tasmanian Aboriginal resistance warriors still not recognised | ABC News

Описание: WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this video contains images of a person who has died.

Tasmania was the scene of the most organised and violent attempt to destroy Aboriginal culture, but there is no recognition of those who resisted the overwhelming colonial power. Figures like the warrior Tongerlongeter who led resistance, and Walyer who was among the many women kidnapped by sealers, are among those who have no physical recognition in Tasmania.

The Tasmanian government has abandoned efforts to formulate a treaty with Aboriginal people, instead committing to a truth-telling process.
